A Good Idea On Paper...

A good idea on paper but a mess on disc...

CNPTEXL could have been a good game but "wow" does it just fall apart. I mean, I could go on and on about why this game just doesn't work but it's not even worth my time to even think about this game anymore.

If you "like", no scratch that, if you "LOVE" Cartoon Network and you enjoy playing beat 'em ups then this game may appeal to you. However, this game is too shallow and boring to really be any fun. Another year in development and some polishing up could have made a difference with this title but alas, we get this.

So, for fans of CN and beat 'em ups, this game should be fun for a couple hours. However, for everyone else, just avoid this game. Go watch CN -- you'd probably have more fun.

If your thinking you like super smash brothers and you would like this game because it's like that your wrong. The game is like super smash brothers but it's a very watered down and bland version of it. I was hoping the same thing when I rented this but I was incredibly dissappointed. This game is not only cheesy but it is so boring that I could barely trugdge though it. If I had to choose between siting through a class on the history of lint or play this game It would take me a minuet to decide. Do what you want but if I were you I would punch myself for just looking at this game.

Another thrown together game...

This is definitely one of those games that you immediately realize was just thrown together by the game devs without very much thought put into it at all.

This is a very basic game, would be great for extremely young children, but thats about it. The gameplay is exceptionally basic, without only a few moves to choose from and none of them seem to be better than the other.

The fighting style is definitely a rip-off of the very fun Smash Bros series that was on nintendo, however, it is a much more basic form that doesn't even come close to living up to that potential. When your hit, your percentage goes up, just like in smash bros. If this game would have been thought out, had a higher budget, and a better team, than it could've been an ultimately fun game. However, unless you like very basic games, you probably won't get much enjoyment out of this one.
